The Role of EU Courts in Shaping Sanctions Compliance Standards

Michael H. Huneke is a partner in the Global Investigations, Enforcement and Compliance and Sanctions, Export Controls, and Anti-Money Laundering practice groups at Hughes Hubbard & Reed.
Mike’s recent thought leadership includes several “fresh looks” at all aspects of sanctions and export controls compliance, synthesizing key concepts from these complicated, dynamic regulatory topics and providing general counsel and chief compliance officers with the tools for focusing resources on the greatest risks for companies, directors, and officers.
The Legal 500 has recognized Mike as a “voice of reason when it comes to compliance matters,” with clients’ feedback including that Mike “stands out for his multi-jurisdictional knowledge of compliance, pragmatism and efficiency in handling cases.”
